Spain - Day 23

There was a food market in the village this morning, so we took a walk down to it after breakfast. It was tiny though, only one stall with vegetables, so we didn't buy anything.

For our walk we'd decided on one that was a bit easier than yesterday, so we started by driving a few miles up the road and parked.

The walk took us on forestry or hunting tracks, sometimes quite steeply, up to a ruined house.




From there there was a bit of steeper path, before we re-joined the track.

We came across a couple of quite strange flat areas. I think we worked out that they are boar hunting grounds, the hunters put water and food there as bait and then shoot them.



Danger! Private Hunting Ground. Saturdays, Sundays and Festivals.

We could see evidence of a forest fire near to the path we were on, and some smoke further over with the fire brigade in attendance.



The way back down was pretty easy, on a good track all the way.


After the walk we drove further on to a village called Castell de Castells (Castle of Castles) which sounded interesting. However we didn't see any castles there, and scraped the step of the campervan on a steep ramp into a car park, so we didn't stay long.

Later back at the campsite we had burgers on brioche rolls with cheese and onions, with beetroot salad.
